Breathtaking Views, Unspoilt Setting
From your doorstep, enjoy sweeping views across the fells, watch the light change over Black and White Combe, or sit out under the stars with a crackling fire and nothing but birdsong in the air. A stream runs nearby, and Silecroft’s quiet beach is just a five-minute drive away.
Rooted in Nature, Designed for Rest
This isn’t just glamping—it’s something slower, softer, and more grounded. The Roundhouse is perfect for:
- Writers, artists, or solo guests needing time to think
- Couples looking for peace and privacy
- Families who enjoy simpler, nature-based stays
- Dog owners (up to 2 well-behaved dogs welcome by arrangement)
